Two days later, in the Youzhou Thorn Mansion.

"Gongsun Kang is dead, Liao Sui returned to the hands of our army again, the deputy marshal and Yuan Zhi have led the troops eastward, ready to completely recover the three counties" Yuan Xi on the main seat held a bamboo slip in his hand, and said in a good mood, the three counties of Liaodong occupy one-third of the territory of Youzhou, and now all of them are recovered, which suddenly makes him greatly strengthened, and completely controls the land of a state, don't underestimate this state, the Shu Kingdom in the previous life is actually just Yizhou, although Youzhou is not as prosperous as Shuzhong, but it is completely different.

It can be said that today's Yuan Xi, even in the face of Yuan Shao, the father who occupies Sanzhou, has enough confidence and ability, because when Yuan Shao fought with Gongsun Zhan, if it wasn't for Wu Huan sending troops to help and Ju Yi's good battle, it would never have been so smooth, and now Wu Huan has been completely subdued by him, forming the Eight Banners, Ju Yi is no more, and even Liaodong has been pacified by him, it can be said that the current Youzhou is more than several times stronger than Gongsun Zhan's time, and it is stable inside and outside.

Li Ru also said with a smile on his face: "In the first battle of Liaosui, Gongsun Du has mobilized most of the troops in Liaodong, and with the destruction of the third-line defense of the Liaohe River, as well as the surrender of a large number of soldiers, it is only a matter of time before the three counties are recovered."

"Yes, now that the general trend has been achieved, our army will definitely be like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, unstoppable, at present, we have to consider how to control the three counties and bring government affairs into the scope of the Assassin's Mansion" Han Yan nodded in agreement.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "If you want to completely control the three counties, you must first appoint the princes of each county, and then eliminate the influence of Gongsun Du step by step from top to bottom."

Hearing this, Yuan Xi agreed: "Shiyuan is right, the most important thing is to determine the candidate for Taishou, Liaodong Taishou can be sure that it is Gongsun Qi, this is promised a long time ago, Xi will not regret it, the key is Lelang, Xuanzhi two counties, do you have a suitable candidate"

"Hou Ye, Gongsun Du has been operating Liaodong for more than ten years, the reputation is not low, the people respect, if the prince wants to completely recover, one is the heart of the people, the second is the heart of the scholars, and the third is the heart of officials at all levels, the first two rely on the great fame brought by the fourth prince and the third prince, it is not a problem at all, the key is with the third point, the officials of Liaodong, there are still many virtuous ministers, if you take the liberty of transferring a new person to the past, I am afraid that these officials will be dissatisfied, and there will be chaos, Liang means that you can choose a few from the generals who were captured this time, and divide the civil and military rule, to assist the new Taishou, so this shows the benevolence of the Hou Ye, and secondly, with their familiarity and prestige in Liaodong, they can also better and more smoothly implement the policy of the Assassin Mansion," Li Ru said.

Yuan Xi nodded, now that Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, and Gongsun Gong are all dead, the illusion in the heart of the Liaodong General can be said to be completely shattered, and it is time to enable it.

"Tell me, who's available?" Yuan Xi immediately asked.

"Hou Ye, once Liaodong's first general Liu Yi, Liaosui guarded Qi Tao, two days ago he was escorted to Jixian County, Liang talked to them, they all have extraordinary military strategy, especially Liu Yi, if it weren't for Gongsun Kang's arrogance and suspicion, Liao Sui probably wouldn't have won it so easily, and there would not be a great victory in Liaodong now" Li Ru said with a smile.

Yuan Xi was suddenly a little surprised: "It's such a big future, why doesn't anyone say anything to Xi?"

"Hou Ye, these two people originally complained a lot about Hou Ye, and their exit was not inferior, so they didn't report for the time being, but they were just imprisoned" Han Yan frowned.

The corners of Li Ru's mouth raised, and said: "At first, it was like this, but since they knew that Gongsun Du was dead, they were completely silent, as Liang saw, they may have the heart of submission, but it is just for the sake of face, Hou Ye's love is like life, his status is noble, his military strength is strong, several times that of Gongsun Du, if they can go to condolence in person, they will definitely be able to convince the two."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, let's go" Hearing this, Yuan Xi immediately took Li Ru's arm and walked outside excitedly.

。。。。。

Not long after, outside an ordinary mansion not far from the Assassin's Mansion, I saw many soldiers guarding here.

In the courtyard, Liu Yi and Qi Tao, the former generals of Liaodong, were eating on the stone table outside the hall, and after just eating a few bites, Qi Tao suddenly put down his chopsticks, hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice: "General, now that the Hou Ye is dead and Liaodong is lost, what should we do?" ”

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, looked up at Qi Tao, who was looking forward to it, and said, "Is Wu Ping planning to take refuge in Yuan Xi?" ”

Qi Tao was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "No, Tao listens to the general, what should the general say?" ”

Liu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Wu Ping doesn't have to worry, now that the general trend is gone, the Hou Ye and the son are gone, and it is normal for you to have this idea." ”

"Hey!" Qi Tao suddenly sighed and said: "Who would have thought that the 100,000 army commanded by Lord Hou was still defeated by Yan Rou, this is still the situation where Yuan Xi did not use the soldiers of the grassland, it can be seen how terrible Yuan Xi's strength is"

Liu Yi nodded, slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said seriously: "You are right, Yuan Xi, the marquis, is indeed extremely not simple, the military advisor who came a few days ago, I feel that he is at least ten times more powerful than Yang Beijia, and such characters are all subordinated to Yuan Xi, it is conceivable that Yuan Xi is powerful, this time the Liaodong War was very lively, involving hundreds of thousands of troops, but Yuan Xi did sit in Guangyang without moving, which shows that he is arrogant and confident in his heart, such a character is the hero of the world."

"What about us?" Qi Tao looked forward again.

"Don't worry, if Yuan Xizheng is in need, he will naturally make arrangements for us, if not, we will force it useless," Liu Yi persuaded with relief.

After thinking about it, Qi Tao said with a wry smile: "Now that Yuan Xi is estimated to be actively recovering Liaodong, I'm afraid I don't have time to pay attention to us generals, and I don't know what about the other brothers, we at least have tiles to cover our heads and have food to eat, they may be a lot sad."

"Don't worry! At most, it's just a little hard, and his life is absolutely fine, if Yuan Xi wants to kill, he will kill him a long time ago," Liu Yi affirmed.

"This time it's all Gongsun Qi, a dog mongrel, and he will definitely not let him go," Qi Tao said angrily.

Liu Yi shook his head and persuaded: "I can't say that, you and I both know about that incident back then, Master Hou did favor the son, and there was less justice, who can tolerate the hatred of taking his wife."

Qi Tao suddenly snorted coldly, and didn't say more, after the two were silent for a while, a banging knock on the door suddenly sounded, and after a surprised glance, Li Ru's voice suddenly sounded, "Two generals, are you there?" ”

"It's the Liang Military Division" Qi Tao suddenly stood up excitedly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Go and open the door" Liu Yi hurriedly said, then immediately stood up and tidied up his clothes, obviously not wanting to be imprisoned like this.

"No!" Qi Tao immediately ran over, and after opening the door, he saw that Liang Cheng, who was the respected military advisor, was respectfully standing behind a heroic and extraordinary, wearing a golden crown, and his long hair fluttering slightly.

"Master Hou, this is General Qi, the former Liao Sui Taishou, not only can fight well, but also is very brave, he has fought with Xingba for dozens of rounds, and he has not fallen behind" Li Ru immediately introduced.

Hearing this, Qi Tao was shocked, and the whole person couldn't help but take two steps back, this young man is the lord of Youzhou, the son of the great Han An Youhou, the son of Yuan Shao, the lord of the north, and Yuan Xi, who made the generals of Liaodong uneasy at all times.
